Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is the current name for a disorder once known as Shy-Drager syndrome. MSA is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by symptoms of autonomic nervous system failure, combined with tremor and rigidity, slurred speech, or loss of muscle coordination. Affecting men and women, MSA can progress swiftly or slowly, people generally survive for 9 years after the appearance of symptoms. There is no remission from the disease.
